Cliff Martinez scored the film Drive with great success. Now the producers of Drive has brought him in to score dystopian thriller Hotel Artemis, starring Jodie Foster. Following a similar style to Drive, Martinez relies on synths to create a dark and tense soundtrack. In addition to the score by Martinez, the album features an exclusive song by Father John Misty along with classics by The Mamas & The Papas, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Elyse Weinberg.

The films of Nicolas Winding Refn always need a slick-cool soundtrack, and sinister new picture Neon Demon is no exception. Cliff Martinez, who worked with Refn on the classic Drive, does the honours with some dark neon synthwork. This OST release also includes featured tracks by Sweet Tempest and Sia. Double LP (one blue, one green) on Milan.

Cliff Martinez used to be in the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but for some years now he has instead been composing film soundtrack music, particularly with Steven Soderbergh. This release of the score for the 2011 film Contagion is some particularly fine work, and comes packaged in lush gatefold packaging. Limited edition on Real Gone Music.

A whopping 5 years on from the release of Drive, the film’s much-loved synth-tastic soundtrack is getting a special fancy reissue edition. Cliff Martinez really shines in neon-drenched 80’s contexts like these, and the other artists’ tracks from the film are also present. Deluxe neon pink vinyl double LP with a booklet. Don't miss this opportunity to get this hard to find soundtrack. Oh.

Total sketchy madness from Cliff Martinez with the Far Cry 4 - Original Soundtrack. I must say, I bloody love computer game music and this is no exception. It goes from some kitsch "middle-eastern" psy-trancey drum & bass into an atmospheric not-quite-traditional Indian and/or Indonesian vibe with tuned percussion. Always some industrial Reznor-esque-ness chucked in too. Out on CD from Invada. Where's my controller, I need a fix.

Cliff Martinez is responsible for making deadpan synth drones that creep through the eeriest films; he supplemented Nicolas Winding Refn's violent psychological thriller 'Drive' with ambient music that took the film's dark electro-pop and actualised its tense potential. Now, he's gone and made the score for 'The Knick', a new TV series about innovative doctors working in a probably very creepy hospital.

We're not your normal record shop...

Please note that whilst we're always happy to see you, we are not a normal record shop where you can come and browse the stacks.

There are no stacks.

Nope, instead we are basically a kind of brutalist Argos for vinyl records. So, instead of trudging all the way to sunny Holbeck in anticipation of being able to flick through shelf after shelf of releases, please place your orders online first and use our 'In-store collect' option in the checkout.
